Not for me...
Authored by: sabi on Apr 30, '02 02:25:14AM
When Fink creates the users, if you check NetInfo, you'll see that each user's home folder is "/".

Not that I saw. Here are the users it's created for me:
news:*:250:250::0:0:News Server:/dev/null:/dev/null
mysql:*:251:251::0:0:MySQL Database Server:/dev/null:/dev/null
pgsql:*:252:252::0:0:PostgreSQL Database Server:/dev/null:/dev/null
games:*:253:253::0:0:Game Files Owner:/dev/null:/dev/null
[...]
(Anybody have any idea why my posts keep on showing up double-spaced? They don't for me...)

I doubled-checked NetInfo and i'm showing that the home folders are all "/" while the shell path is /dev/null. I neglected to mention that "fink --version" reports package manager: 0.9.11 and Distribution version: 0.4.0. What version are/were you using to create those users?

Double-spacing...

That's a "feature" of Geeklog 1.1, where it treats hard returns as "br" tags. This has been fixed in GL 1.35, which we're very close to upgrading to. For now, you basically can't use hard returns in HTML mode (or if you do, you can't use "br" tags). Inside "pre" tags, use "br" tags only without hard returns.

It's quite a pain, which is one of the reasons I'm so anxious to upgrade the site!
